Do I have tooo????
Start Weight 332
Lowest Weight 189
Current Weight 211 YIKES
I actually stayed at 194 for over a year. I had creeped up to 202 at my doctors appointment in early May when we confirmed my pregnancy. I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks. I have gained 8 pounds in a month!!!! Truly showing my food addict tendancies. I have been using food as a coping mechanism. BUT I AM TAKING CONTROL!!!!! I have updated my FitDay. I have set a minigoal of 199 for August 3rd ( my birthday and day before school/work starts back). I'm back to counting carbs and protein.

Hi Andi !!!
No, not ****tin' ya. It seems that about 1/2 the people I know who are near the same surg date as me have either my prob or they are gaining. Certainly didn't post this as a brag. It is somewhat disconcerting to be almost 56 yrs old and seriously looking like Twiggy from the 60's. I'm working on putting on about 10lbs to get back to where I don't look sick. It's back to protein shakes - gack.

hello sister...
here I am, two weeks late and two dollars short.
what do I know now? that i was okay when I was loosing and that I am okay with my gaining. I think there are something that are going on that allow me to get too complacient.
stretchy pants. they give too much and I do not suffer when I add extra pounds.
dehydration, I just do not focus hard enough each on what I need to do to take care of me. and I focus too easily on the kids instead. my bad. my own fault.
hypoglycemia. not sure why it was not a problem during the drastic weight loss and only 3 meals aday, but now that I am carbing out and 5 small meals a day, my weight has stagnated, but it still 13 lbs over goal weight.
I need to find the drive to get back to focus.

I've recently started losing again after being at a stable weight for 2+ yrs. Was a size 6-8, now I'm down to a 4. That's too small for me, in my opinion. I'm too old to be so skinny. Anyone else with this "problem".
I've not been around here for a looong time, and it's nice to see so many familiar faces. HI everybody!

Topic: RE: Friday Weekly Weigh In
so friday, I was driving cross country, superstitious about things coming in threes. and I get a call from one of my good clients and she lets me know that the father of one of my little clients (age 3) has passed away the night before from a horrific motorcycle accident. which is horrible. i breath a sigh of relief and drive 1500 miles in a week. I ate horribly. I gained weight. I am now a whooping 20 lbs over my lowest weight since surgery and I feel wretched. so starting tomorrow. I am seriously going to get seriously with the program. SERIOUSLY.
all other aspects of my life are the same. stress level: 10, carb level:10, energy level: 1
now I need to go take that nap.

thank you so much for your kind words. It is so hard to keep goin gsome days isn't it, but I have to keep reminding myself how far I have come and not dispise the weight I have lost.
How are you doing now? Are you still pleased that you had the revision?
Ruth I am doing fine. Thank you for asking. Yes, so far I am very pleased with my decision for a revision to ERNY. It has been a good choice. I am so thankful that Dr. S understood my situation and gave me a second chance that other doctors were unwilling to.
Even with the ERNY I know that weight maintenance/loss will ALWAYS be a life time choice that I will have to focus on as with any WLS. For me it is not just about loosing the weight but maintaining my health and peace of mind. Especially as I age.
Like you said, some days are difficult but what other options do we have but to look forward and try and make the best choices we can regarding food, exercise and living a healthy life style.
Good Luck. Keep on, keeping on.....
